Anti-Racist Resources

This is inspired by the thread created by Melinda D. Anderson #CharlottesvilleCurriculum on Twitter in response to the White Supremacist/NAZI rally, violence and murder that took place in Charlottesville.

As educators, our job is to protect, support, love and educate all of our students. Anyone can add to this document. Please feel free to add & make your own copy. This is a working document.

I have changed the file to Comment only. I will add in anti-racist resources that are shared, and continue to curate sources that I find. Any hateful comments will be deleted with no response given. Thanks to everyone who has shared the file & contributed. Please feel free to tweet me resources @JulieBoulton12 or use a comment box to share a resource.

Someone messaged me that they are unsure how to make a copy - you click on File in the top left corner, scroll down and click copy. Hope that helps! (If you are not familiar with Google Docs - you can also click File, scroll down to Download as and download this as a Word Doc). Please keep sharing & adding!

Thank you!
